Bhava-3 * mental habits, siblings collaborators, commerce, writings * Professor Rahu likes to challenge or break the normal; limits of written communications, publications and announcements. One's relationship to the siblings and the daily thought-group. Rahu's influence amplifies the exotic content of the short-term travel, such as holidays in far-off lands.

Ambitious mix-master Professor Rahu pushes through the barriers which normally separate the similar mates from the unsimilar, the matched from the unmatched, the negotiators from those unwilling to bargain.

marriage, alliance, partnership

sexual pairing

Quest for Immortality and Exalted Privilege via Alliances

The impatient and often illicit desire for attainment of a level of privilege that is dramatically higher than one's station at birth is felt and imagined by Professor Rahu to be satisfied by an exalted, empowering, peer relationship, whether business or personal.

The greater propensity of Rahu-7 = the excitement of forming exotic personal relationships, and the even greater propensity is toward the taboo-breaking excitement of privilege-granting sexual relationships.

Dramatically amplified effects may be observed if natal Rahu in bhava-7, so that gochara Rahu contact natal Rahu creates a once-every-eighteen-years "Rahu Return".

Also considerably amplified effects in terms of exotic, boundary-challenging, unconventional, and ambition-fueled relationships if gochara Rahu transits bhava-7 during a simultaneous bhukti of Rahu.

The strongest outcome = gochara Rahu transits yuvati bhava during the swabhukti of Rahu-Rahu period *or* a combination of major period of the yuvati-pati lord of 7th bhava along with a minor period of Rahu.

Restrictions and Exceptions:

A simultaneous drishti from natal Shani or drishti from gochara Shani or the presence of sober, dig-bala Professor Shani in bhava-7 can tamp-down the excitement .

If Professor Shani is affecting the kalatra-bhava, while Rahu attempts to generate an exciting relationship in bhava-7 for Professor Rahu's own instrumentally ambitious purposes, the outcome is reduced because Rahu will be forced to uses most of His energy in searching for loopholes and crevices within Shani's rule structure.

Rahu can only slightly upset a bhava that is controlled by Shani's regime. However, absent the control of a strong Shani, the chalakaraka can produce a huge surge of upward energy that appears to be gaining immortality via some cleverly arranged, instrumental alliance.

Temporary escalation of
one's Desire for Exotic Alliances

Rahu likes to challenge or break the accepted rules for marriage and committed partnerships.

There may be social class controversy regarding marriage choice, terms of legal agreement, or regarding advisers such as attorneys and consulting therapists.

Professor Rahu's classroom is infused with the desire to challenge conventional boundaries of marriage vow and business contracts
